AWS has gained huge popularity I think on two counts: one is where GoDaddy suffered quite a backlash in the media. And two, it has launched fantastic services for a whole host of entrepreneurs who get the service at no cost for the first year.
That could potentially have fueled the use of the service, but lower revenues.
It may make sense to see the revenues a year post these number to actually assess the contribution of AWS to Amazon's overall revenues.
- ceejayoz 13y agoI tend to doubt folks who were using GoDaddy's hosting went to AWS.
- samspenc 13y agoAgreed. I think AWS tapped into an untapped market - full blown virtual machines (servers) at low and pay-by-the-hour cost. There will always be a market for shared hosting - GoDaddy likely lost out to the growing numbers of shared hosting providers.
